That would work, but that requires configure to complete for the
entire set of utils.  I was hoping for something like "--disable-all
--enable-ls" or some such thing passed to configure to only run the
configure tests for the pieces of coreutils that I want to build.
That way, the configure tests that fail won't affect me.

To be even more precise, I want to see how many of the core utils I
can get to natively compile for x86_64-pc-mingw32 using the new
compiler I just built.
